Trading Standards

George Green’s solicitors can help you or your business if you have to deal with a trading standards investigation or prosecution.

We have considerable expertise of defending regulatory investigations and prosecutions commenced by local authorities for breaches of trading standards legislation.

These investigations are conducted in a similar way to a criminal investigation by the police and trading standards officers have very wide investigatory powers. Local authorities can commence a criminal prosecution against an organisation and individuals.

What if we discover a product safety issue in our business?

We have considerable expertise of dealing with product safety issues and can help you handle product recalls should such action be necessary.

Early action is vitally important when dealing with product safety matters. If you discover a potential product safety issue in your business you should seek urgent legal advice from a specialist regulatory solicitor.

How do I know if the promotional material we use to market our products is compliant?
